six months
Has it really been six months since my daughter was born; time goes by faster with a baby in your life. I’m back in the studio + teaching design; part time for now. I’m happy to be doing everything I envisioned doing while raising my daughter with my husband but (wow!) I am busy. I have a backlog of projects to share and plenty of ideas and energy! I hope to post more about my work and life. Thanks for being so patient!
XYZ!
Write Around Portland had their gala fundraiser, (XYZ) a few weeks ago at DWR. We were excited to design the invite again this year! The invite was built from many parts; a perforated card + rsvp, the return envelope and a belly band to hold it all together. The invitation was mailed in a clear plastic envelope. XYZ centers around word games and we used classic games as a point of inspiration on the invite.
The belly band
The invite
The invite with perfed rsvp ticket postcard. This project is always a pleasure to work on, I love the way it turned out!
the minimal in action
Congratulations to K + Z on their big day over the weekend! I created a custom minimal invitation for them over the summer.
In the original suite we did not include a rsvp postcard, this was added and fit the shapes of the suite nicely.
Clare printed on a cranes cotton felted paper. I’m growing weary of lettra, this was a nice change and heavy weight without too much bulk on press.
research for a new brand
Summer was quite busy in the studio and we had the pleasure of working with a new client, Kim of SYdesign. Kim presented us with a new project and brought in a unique vintage tearbook of items found from the fifties as a point of inspiration.
I was speechless, the book was pretty amazing. Each page was fabric with magazine and package tears carefully backed and ironed on. Each page had a theme or season and the entire book seemed to chronicle the life of a child.
Kim let us borrow it for an afternoon to takes some picks for our mood boards. I would love to make one of these for our new babies first year!!
What a fantastic find, thanks Kim!
